Sony DSC-S75

Record Modes & Menu Options

This is a typical LCD display when the shutter release is half-pressed, the focus has
been locked (green circle icon), and the exposure has been calculated (F2.3 @ 1/100s).
Onscreen icons for battery condition (graphical and time remaining in minutes),
Flash is set to forced On, ISO sensitivty has been fixed at 100, image size is
2048x1536 and Fine quality, 35 pictures remaining and a graphical representation of
the space left on the Memory Stick.

The aperture controls the depth of field (range of focus), a smaller number yields a
shallow depth of field and a higher number gives you a deeper depth of field. Shallow
depth of field is prefered in portraits to blur out the background and when you shoot an
outdoor scenic shot you would use F8 to put everything in focus.

Setting the Mode Dial to "M"anual allows you to adjust both the shutter speed and
the aperture value. You press in on the jog dial and move it to the shutter speed
or the aperture value and press it again and then change the setting. The "EV" readout
acts as your exposure meter and lets you know if the current settings will produce a
proper exposure or over (+ number) or under (- number) exposure.

The focus can be automatic or you can press the FOCUS button and then rotate the
command dial to select any one of the following preset distance values:
01.m, 0.2m, 0.3m, 0.5m, 0.8m, 1m, 1.5m, 2m, 3m, 5m, 7m, 10m, 15m or infinity

The S75 features the new MPEG MovieEX recording mode. You can capture full motion
sequences with audio at 15 frames per second. There are three different recording modes
available: 320x240 HQ is limited to 15 second clips but it plays back full screen on
the LCD or TV screen.

The 320x240 (non-HQ) and 160x120 mode movies can be
recorded for as long as you have available memory - no more 5, 10 or 15 second
limitations as on other Sony digicams in the past. The normal 320x240 and 160x120
movies play back in a smaller screen area, see the next page for examples.

Movie record mode options:

White Balance - Automatic, Indoor, Outdoor or One-Push custom

Image Size - 320x240HQ, 320x240, 160x120

Picture Effect - None, Negative Art, Sepia, B&W, Solarize

Besides MPEG movies you can also record animated 160x120 GIF files using the
ClipMotion mode. You can sequence up to 10 images into one small and compact
file that can be easily emailed.
